Yes, they could be classified as shoddy or trashy U.F.O.s without hesitation.

Those are the results of a new wave of behavior of certain people.

They go outdoors, at any time, although preferably at night, and they start taking pictures to the sky, anywhere in the sky, it doesn’t matter.

Or they are on a place taking some pictures of trees, or a lake, birds or flowers.

The key thing happens later.

They go to their PCs or laptops, they download their pictures and lo and behold!, a mysterious dot appears in one of the pictures they have taken.

Or many dots in different pictures, specially if they were taken at night (they are technically know as “orbs”), and voilá! Once again they think they have been able to photograph U.F.O.s! And of course, for them “U.F.O.” is something totally identified as an extraterrestrial spaceship! They totally skip the “U” of the acronym.

These are enthusiasts of the ET idea, they are honest people, they don't want to lie on purpose, or to make business with their pictures. They feel that they have met the unknown.

Objectively, nevertheless, that is not the case.A couple of things, therefore, have to be said:

1) These people are not witnesses, because they have seen nothing.

2) Their interpretation of what afterward appears in some pictures is totally biased, irrational, and has no point of support.

Therefore, they are not in conditions to declare publicly that they have photographed an extraterrestrial spaceship, which is what they understand when they use the acronym “U.F.O.”.

The task to identify what has been seen or photographed, or to declare it Unidentified belongs to the investigators and scholars dealing with the issue.

And it is something that really works for the organizers of annual congresses done not all the time in the same place, although there are places looked as “historical” that call for the repetition of such activities every year.

They are business with the excuse of “UFOs”, or more precisely, of the extraterrestrial myth and a rainbow of individuals that makes their living of that.

Those congresses are a pretext to promote tourism to one particular area.From organized trips to “special places”, to the percentage that the organizers will get after an arrangement with a hotel where a congress would be held, everything tends to satisfy clients, entertain public, and at the end…make money out of the UFO subject.

This is the truth behind the vast majority of those meetings.

Exceptionally there could be some of them, which really pursue to deal in depth with the UFO subject, and those kinds of activities are exclusively related to a very selective group of people specially invited.

Those are not public events, they are not open to the public at large, and those who participate are a limited number of scientists and or experts, who will deliberate for some days about the issue and come out with certain recommendations, guides for a future work, and an evaluation of the whole issue if it is possible.

Those are the serious activities that later could be known by the general public through a press conference, and or a book, etc.

An example of that was the First Colloquy of the River Plate, organized by C.I.O.V.I., in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1962.

Another example was the scientific panel convened in Pocantico, New York, in 1998, by Professor Dr. Peter Sturrock.

Outside of that kind of activities, the so-called “UFO congresses” in general, are activities to promote the personal infatuation of some people, and the way many of them are making money exploiting the UFO subject, selling magazines, books, CDs, DVDs, and many objects done by artisans, etc. On the top of all of that, the perpetuation of the extraterrestrial myth is a condition “sine-qua-non”.

Science and a serious approach to the subject have nothing to do with all of that.

Due to certain publicity given to a Congress that will be held in Montevideo, Uruguay, during this month, the UFO Phenomenon has returned to the media.

After having contributed with other people and along many years to provide correct information about the issue through articles, speeches, conferences, interviews and so on, I have felt a sensation of bitterness when I see how this subject is dealt by the local media.

I realized that no matter how much it has been pointed out through the years, many journalists and a lot of people that took contact with the media do not have by themselves the clear meaning of what “UFO” strictly means.

Once again there have been mentions related to “believe or not in the existence of UFOs” suggesting that those could be artifacts of extra-terrestrial origin, without realizing the evident contradiction implicit in that way of defining them.

They are one thing or the other, but not both of them…

Would it be necessary to start explaining again these things? Regretfully it seems that it would be the case from time to time, because apparently these things are easily forgotten.

I also think that the media has not taken seriously the subject. It seems like if it is placed in the border between reality and fantasy…and there is a tendency to exploit the fantastic side. Evidently, may be it is more attractive and the one that gets much interest among the general public.

Also in this opportunity, there is not a contribution of the publicized Congress itself, according with its program .

I think that in that Congress there are certain issues that should not be mixed with others, if there were the intention to give to the event a serious scientific tone.

As an example, it could be said that on a scientific congress about Medicine there wouldn’t be included “sorcerers” and their experiences.

KCBS television caught the long exhaust plume on camera as it arced into the evening sky west of Los Angeles on Monday night, sparking reports of a missile launch. But The US military has so far been unable to explain an apparent missile vapour trail off the coast of California, and is still trying to determine its cause, a Pentagon spokesman said.

An AP cable dated on Wednesday, November 10, 2010, says among other things:

Pentagon officials were stumped by the event. "Nobody within the Department of Defense that we've reached out to has been able to explain what this contrail is, where it came from," Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, issued a statement jointly with the U.S. Northern Command, or NORTHCOM, saying that the contrail was not the result of a foreign military launching a missile. It provided no details.

"We can confirm that there is no threat to our nation," the statement said. "We will provide more information as it becomes available."

NORTHCOM is the U.S. defense command and NORAD is a U.S.-Canadian organization charged with protecting the U.S. from the threat of missiles or hostile aircraft.

And this Wednesday, on MSNBC an expert in Aeronautics commented that in that area of the West of the country they are always testing different kind of airplanes and other aerial artifacts, about which the general public is not informed.

An he added: “Someone knows what is it about but won’t tell.”

I concur totally with this expert and I would like to suggest that what was seen was a second test of the hypersonic X-51, which had its first test on Sping of 2010, and of which there has been no intention so far to give information to the public.

This video illustrates the test.

Or it could have been another test of the anti-ballistic missile Arrow for the Israeli Defense, which are tested in the United States, and precisely in California.

August 4, 2010.

An Arrow anti-ballistic missile is launched as part of the on going United States/Israel Arrow System Improvement Program (ASIPP). The missile successfully intercepted a short-range target during tests at the Point Mugu Sea Range in California. This was the twelfth Arrow intercept test and the seventh test of the complete Arrow system. The objective of the test was to demonstrate the Arrow system’s improved performance against a target that represents a threat to Israel. The test represented a realistic scenario that could not have been tested in Israel due to test-field safety restrictions.

UMMO – A myth instigated by American agentsA letter of J.L. Jordán Peña reveals it all

-----------------

No one that has worked in the UFO field could ignore the “affaire UMMO”.

Also, no one seriously dealing with the UFO subject could have believed in that tricky although obviously astute manipulation.

Only those feeble of spirit or people with fantasy prone personalities could have given a minute of consideration to such a masquerade.

But nevertheless, there were many of that kind of people in different parts of the world.

We knew people that considered themselves important because they have received a letter from UMMO.

The whole subject subsided with the time and with the clear evidence that it was a big hoax.

But now there is a confession made by the main responsible for the hoax: Mr. José Luis Jordán Peña, from Spain.

The most important thing is that on a letter where he confess to be the main author of the whole hoax, he declares something outstanding:

“Two American citizens named Doctor Jonathan F. Mac Guire and his assistant, Professor Arnold J. Lebotski which worked for an Official Organization, contacted me many years ago in Alicante and asked me to help them to develop a sociological experiment for the good of the Western Culture……They always paid me in dollar bills…In exchange, all that I had to do was to invent a world of fantasy (although inspired in their suggestions) and spread it with total freedom among my friends and acquaintances.”

This is a corroboration of the way that American intelligence agencies have been manipulating the public opinion in relation with the UFO subject.

The Pentacle memorandum, Project Stork, etc. become once again relevant in the context of this new revelation.

Lessons to learn particularly by people that sometimes are extremely naïve when dealing with the UFO subject.
